Naila Francis is a certified grief coach and death midwife. As the founder of This Hallowed Wilderness, she helps people transform their relationship to grief and loss through one-on-one coaching, workshops, rituals and ceremonies. Naila is also a founding member of Salt Trails, a Philadelphia collective normalizing grief through community rituals. In this featured conversation, she shares about offering compassion, the necessity of healing from both personal losses and greater world tragedies, and the “fierce aliveness” that often emerges from moving through our deepest emotional work.

Co-hosts Wendy Sheridan and Robin Renée open the show with some levity in the Timeline Cleanse segment – this time on the pleasures of sipping Negronis and petting jellyfish. They are ready for the rainbow celebrations of June and contemplate an “All Lives Matter” moment at a Pride march. Visibly celebrating LGBTQ+ Pride is one of the recommended actions in Pièce de Résistance, along with picking up some feminist reading and attending a No Kings Day protest. Wendy reads another brief exerpt from On Tyrrany.
